San Juan School

 March 23-24, 2018

Today was a day at the school in San Juan. It was a busy day, and a lot of kids. They had such fun, and I think we had even more fun than the kids. We had an activity and after our lesson we went outside to play with the bubbles and yarn. Do you remember all those yarn hand games we use to play as girls in school? Well, we were trying to teach them those. It was funny, because I was trying to remember them all. And I kept messing up! I think they caught on faster than I did in remembering. They kept saying for us to do more. It's the simple things in life that I was reminded of this day. When it came time for us to leave, all the kids were like,"when are you coming back?" I think they wanted more yarn! I already miss them and can't wait to see them next year!

Pastor Franklin had our whole team out to his house for lunch. He also invited the leaders of the Baptist Association in Honduras ( he is part of this group in Honduras for church planting).  He had talked about the team from Ky so much and about the support we are giving him, that they wanted to meet us. His wife and I had a good talk, and she told me their story of how they got to Tela from Yoro. About how they started the church in Tela and what they had to do. His whole family worked hard to get where they are today and they are still growing. God is working through them in that community. 

That night, we celebrated Erin's Birthday. It was also another team members birthday, so we got both a cake after dinner. Erin was embarrassed, but I couldn't let her birthday go without the birthday song! I gave Ty a call to wish him a happy birthday since he was back home. 

The next day,  I was able to sit and enjoy some free time, I think about all the things that I have been blessed with and what I have been blessed to experience this trip. I think: we are fortunate to be born in the US: to much is given, much is asked. I think we forget this and take for granted all that we have been given.  We helped physically and witnessed to 1063 people through our medical clinics.  

Some pray, others go and some support financially. But we all are family and build for the Lord.  And those who couldn't come or are not able to come with us, find a way to help- through clothes, bags, supplies. 

Bendiciones,
